Good heavens, Chanel! How do you make such magical and dreamy shimmers? Taboo (Le Vernis 583) is beyond gorgeous and I am seriously in love with this divine colour. It looks like a vampy deep red, but it’s flecked with purple, red and blue and just kind of incredible in any light. Application is a dream, and if I was super steady handed I could probably get away with one [...]
I often fall in love with beauty prodz that I think are sooo pretty (usually limited editions) and want to buy them immediately. But these likely things I would buy and then never use. So I exercise restraint and wait for the urge to pass, which it usually does. But, the newest nail polish from Chanel, Azure, kept singing it’s siren song to me. I got it home and thought [...]
I regularly change up the contents of the make up bag in my purse. I am still a huge fan of the leather pouches from American Apparel Carry All Pouch – they feel substantial and well made. I like the ones with nice heavy gold zippers, they add a luxe feel that you don’t get from a nylon zipper. Details, people! In a pinch, you can take one out of [...]
First let me get this out of the way – this is not a perfume to be found at every Chanel counter. The Exlcusifs are sold at select Chanel counters & free standing boutiques, so you do have to look a little harder to find them. But, it’s worth it, because these are not your average Chanel scents (although they are all lovely…well, minus Allure) and it’s easier to make [...]
Whoa. Just, whoa. Vertigo is a gorgeous Chanel nail polish in every possible way. Colour – the perfect not quite black but not grey so lets call it “light black”, with the famous Chanel hidden shimmer. And the shimmer is a soft purple! Again, the shimmer is hidden, is doesn’t really show on the nails but by being there adds a subtle tone that adds a dimension to the colour. [...]
A luxe body product is always a great gift for the beauty junkie in your life, as we are more likely to buy a bottle of Olay at the drugstore for ourselves while hoarding our deluxe make up and perfume. A splurge on a body product is a luxury we reserve for gifts and they are always welcome! Here are some great ideas for someone who could use some pampering [...]
I love my Chanel Rouge Coco Shines. They are moisturizing as well as sheer, which means they can be applied without a mirror ie. foolproof. This really appeals to the colour shy lip product lover in me, but there is the benefit of a gradual introduction to wearing colour on the lips. I don’t think there will ever come a time when I will go for a full on [...]
Even though I am obsessed with beauty, I don’t spend a lot of time getting ready in the morning. Reason? Laziness, perhaps? Also, as time goes by, I find I don’t like the feeling of a lot of stuff on my face. But, like anyone, I like to look polished, bright eyed and as radiant as possible with as little effort as possible. I spend time on my skincare routine, [...]
Ah another Chanel nail polish has me in a twist! I didn’t think I needed it, I really didn’t ( I did). I was quite sure I had a similar colour in my collection (I didn’t). It’s a perfect shimmery vampy red. It’s got that magic Chanel shimmer, which is almost three dimensional. It’s not a frost, which I’m glad of, as frosts are streaky and hard to apply. No, [...]
Sometimes we just want a no fuss sheer mani. I have millions a couple sheer pinks/whites in varying levels of sheer that suit just about any mani mood that strikes. But, I just could not resist the pretty pink Chanel Le Vernis. It has teensy bits of that signature Chanel shimmer, but in this case it is more of a glitter than a shimmer. Like, super mini micro glitter. It [...]
